It truly is. It's a shame the knowledge gap for transitioning to other OS's is as high as it is. The average person wants something that "just works"

There's some Windows desktop alternatives that are great out-of-the-box and just work. Some that come to mind are ChromeOS by Google, Linux Mint and Pop!_OS, which is OEM for System76 hardware.

Installing Pop is easier than you might think.There's documentation on both Pop or Mint's site. I know their support and FAQ are really good.
